Asus unveils the ROG Ally, a handheld gaming console to rival Steam Deck

04 April 2023
Looks like a promising alternative to the Steam Deck but we still have lots of questions.

Sort by:

Lol from what ive seen it doesnt rival the steam deck, it straight up beats it and by a bit (it'll be the price that could let it down and having no actual thunderbolt port atm).

Its fans are less audible aswell with i think better overall speakers. Its screen hits 500nits and can refresh at up to 120hz (1080p panel). It has 7ms response times which is solid for laptop/handheld.

                  If only it was dual OS. So you could choose your favorite, and switch if you needed the other OS.

                    Good for mobile gamers I guess.

                    I nevwr understood the need for more and better handheld games than GBA and DS games.
